Severe Sore Throat, Ear Pain. No Relief With Advil. How To Get Relief?
I have the worst sore throat and I can t take it anymore. My doctor said take advil for now and that is not helping anymore. I have energy so I don t think it s mono like she thought it might be. I just can t take the pain anymore. I have also been burping a lot which is odd. I feel like there are air bubbles in my chest until i burp them up. This is not nearly as annoying as the throat. Also my ears hurt a bit. I can t sleep because of the throat
